I’m very apolitical. I mean, after having covered politicians so much all my life, I basically have no belief in politics. But it’s more of an attitude and a discipline in the way you approach life, I think, than it is just what lever you pull in a voting – Liz Trotta

We’re drawn to making our mark, leaving a record to show we were here, and a journal is a great place to do it. Once you start drawing, writing, and gluing stuff in every day, it can quickly become a habit – addictive, even. Your attitude should be: ‘I ca – Keri Smith

From a person whose living depends on other people buying her creative work, this may sound odd, but one of my favorite things about the steampunk subculture is its do-it-yourself attitude. – Kaja Foglio
